ORLANDO, Fla. — Veteran NBA official Bill Kennedy is out for an unspecified period after straining his hamstring during Friday’s game in Orlando, NBA insider Chris Haynes reported.
The injury occurred in the first quarter. Kennedy, who has been a fixture on NBA courts for years, was taken off the floor in a wheelchair.
League sources expressed optimism that the 57-year-old referee could return before the regular season concludes, but no formal timetable has been established.
While Kennedy begins rehabilitation, the NBA will reassign officiating crews as needed to cover the remaining schedule.
